Ginkgo Leaf

Mild, earthy and gently grassy - a caffeine-free herbal infusion from the ancient ginkgo tree.

Ginkgo Leaf

Ginkgo biloba is a living fossil, one of the oldest tree species on Earth, essentially unchanged for over 200 million years and often called the maidenhair tree for its distinctive fan-shaped leaves. Steeped on its own, the dried leaf makes a pale yellow-green infusion that's mild, earthy and gently grassy, with a soft nutty note and no caffeine. It's a quiet, understated cup — light enough to sip through the afternoon.

Ginkgo leaf also plays well with others: it's a natural partner for herbs like tulsi, gotu kola, brahmi and ginseng, adding an earthy green depth to custom herbal blends.

Note: steep 1 teaspoon per cup in water just off the boil (around 80°C) for 5 minutes; a longer steep deepens the flavour. A little honey or lemon rounds out its earthiness nicely.

Background and Historical Significance of Ginkgo Biloba

In ancient China, ginkgo trees were often planted near temples and monasteries, revered for their beauty and longevity. According to folklore, these trees were considered sacred and were believed to bring protection and blessings to the areas where they grew. One famous ginkgo tree in the Zhongnan Mountains, reportedly planted by a Tang Dynasty emperor over 1,400 years ago, still stands today as a testament to the tree's incredible resilience and longevity.

A particularly compelling story highlighting the resilience of ginkgo trees comes from Hiroshima, Japan. In 1945, when the atomic bomb was dropped, six ginkgo trees located near the blast site miraculously survived, despite the extensive destruction. These trees, now known as "Hibakujumoku" or survivor trees, are still thriving and continue to grow, symbolizing hope and resilience amidst devastation.
